The 2010 Land Rover Range Rover gets freshened styling and new engines. Land Rover’s flagship SUV seats 5 and comes in HSE and Supercharged trims. The HSE has a new 375-horsepower 5.0-liter V8, which replaces a 305-horsepower 4.4-liter V8. The top-line Supercharged has a supercharged 510-horsepower 5.0-liter V8, which replaces a 400-horsepower 4.2-liter V8. A 6-speed automatic with manual shift gate is the lone transmission.

Range Rovers have all-wheel drive with low-range gearing. Also standard is Land Rover’s Terrain-Response system, which has a console switch that enables the driver to change suspension and powertrain calibrations to accommodate normal driving, slippery pavement, mud, sand, and low-speed off-roading. Hill descent control is standard. An electronic adaptive suspension is standard on the Supercharged and optional on the HSE. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an antiskid system, front-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. A navigation system, rearview camera, front- and rear-obstacle detection, and wireless cell-phone link are standard.

Blind-spot alert is available, as is a “Surround-Camera” system that shows the driver nearly the entire circumference of the exterior on the navigation screen. An optional Luxury Interior Package for HSE models includes 14-way heated and cooled front seats, upgraded leather and wood interior trim, an adaptive front-lighting system, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, and 20-inch wheels and tires. Supercharged models can be equipped with the Autobiography Package that includes upgraded leather and wood interior trim, rear-seat entertainment, 4-zone air conditioning, adaptive cruise control, HD radio, and specific wheels and badging. This evaluation is based on preview test drives.
